[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.6.1 from Macports, strange window behavior
Hey all, I have this strange issue with the latest GIMP - things from menus and some child-windows (not sure if that's the right name for these, but there are mini-windows that GIMP pops up to allow you to select modes from a drop down, for example) are shown either off my screen or behind a tool window. The problem is that I can't move the window out of the way to get to the mini-window underneath, and I can't see things sometimes that are off the visible area (sometimes things pop up halfway out of the area and I can drag them back in). I'm not sure if this is related to X11 or if it's a GIMP bug (or maybe even a macports port bug, but since it builds and installs fine I think the port from macports is the cause). Is anyone else seeing this strange behavior? Is there something I can do to fix it? I am running GIMP 2.6.1 compiled from Macports on a macbook pro 15 with X 2.3.1 Thanks! --Mike H ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This works nicely, thanks so much. --Mike On Oct 13, 2008, at 1:33 PM, Bettina Karena Lechner wrote: Hi mike! try using the gimp.dmg from here: http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html my installation is working fine (same environment as yours) maybe it's an macport problem, joy! tina Von: Michael Hernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:39:33 -0400 An: X11 List Mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED], GIMP User Mailing List gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU Betreff: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.6.1 from Macports, strange window behavior Hey all, I have this strange issue with the latest GIMP - things from menus and some child-windows (not sure if that's the right name for these, but there are mini-windows that GIMP pops up to allow you to select modes from a drop down, for example) are shown either off my screen or behind a tool window.

I got mine in a macheist bundle, which cost me something like $50 total and included pixelmator, vector designer (another interesting yet young graphic program) and a bunch of other stuff. Would I pay full price for it? No. I hate to say that because I'm sure the guys that are working on it could sure use the money - but it's just not ready. If I could get a native OS X version of GIMP, I'd pay $60 for it in a heartbeat. --Mike H ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp for webpage logo
you need to save it as a gif or png. Also remember that not all browsers support gif or png transparency properly (specifically Internet Explorer).

But it does not come out with a transparent background. I've tried various adjustments, such as copy visible, paste to new file with transparent background. It looks transparent in GIMP, but on the webpage it is not transparent. Any ideas how I can get my logo to lose it's unwanted background?

Actually that book was written based on a development snapshot of GIMP. I find it to be a very useful book IMHO. I'm not sure how relevant it will continue to be though, based on the fact that the author really seems to have jumped the gun in regards to the GIMP 2.4 release. [...] Many users and developers were hoping for GIMP 2.4 to be released around the end of summer last year. Alas, that didn't happen because it took a long time to fix some nasty bugs, then it was decided to include some new features because the release was not ready anyway, then more bugs popped in, then it also took a while to fix them, then even more features were added, even more bugs were discovered and fixed, and so on... It is not surprising that the authors of some books were hoping for 2.4 to be released earlier. Maybe they were a bit too optimistic, but I wouldn't blame them for that. Now that we already have the first release candidate with lots of nice features (and a few bugs that have already been fixed), we are finally getting very close to the official release of GIMP 2.4. That is great news! Now I just hope it hasn't changed so much that my nice full color gloss beginning GIMP book is full of lies! :) --Mike H ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
